OH FOR F*CK'S SAKE: Trump renames "Monroe Doctrine" to "Donroe Doctrine" after Venezuela clusterf*ck [View all]

Trump has unveiled his overarching goal in removing Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro: to assert American dominance of the Western Hemisphere with a new foreign policy: the “Donroe Doctrine”.

But as critics hit out at the extraordinary intervention, the president said it was rooted in the “Monroe Doctrine”: a two-century old policy of U.S. leadership in the Western Hemisphere, which Trump has now rebranded in his own name.

“They now call it the ‘Donroe Doctrine’,” he said, declaring that the original 1823 doctrine named after President James Monroe had been “superseded” by his administration.

“American dominance in the Western Hemisphere will never be questioned again.”
